Quote from: K-Dog on Feb 25, 2024, 08:21 PMCode is machinery, nothing more. Code has no consciousness. Meaning is something perceived. Code can do stuff, and a rock can fall. Both have equal meaning. Which is none because there is no perceiver.
I never said anything about Consciousness either. Now you are shifting the goalpost. Before you said human ideas wouldn't exist after extinction. Now you say someone or thing has to be conscious of their existence. So I demonstrated why they could continue to exist, be interpreted and acted upon by a machine, not that the machine was conscious of it. That isn't necessary.
Far as consciousness, who's to say those machines won't become self-aware later? ;D
